The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
It's not a reboot or a remake, but highlights many of the same sexual awareness themes and general pop psychology undercurrents of the earlier film. The more things change, the more they stay the same. The acting is more than adequate, the comedy is rather spare and then frequently predictable and the overall effect is, in my opinion, underwhelming.
This film tells the story of a married couple who gets invited to a new friend house.It is not usual to see a comedy centered around two couples, and this time the story is quite funny. It has an intriguing quality that lures you to want more of the story. I enjoyed watching it.
This was a funny movie. Admittedly, not everyone appreciates this sort of quirky, dry humor, but I found it entertaining.The best part was the "Bada Bing" moment at the end. After spending the night resisting their new friend's overtures, Alex and Emily eventually agree to give in and play along. So, the next time they see Kurt and Charlotte at the park, they hint that they're now ready. But much to their surprise, Kurt interrupts them to say that he's receiving treatment and attempting to make his marriage work. So in the end, this long, uncomfortable night, was simply a long, uncomfortable night for Alex and Emily; not to mention that Kurt and Charlotte didn't even seem that interested in being friends, any longer.
Just when you hope there's some meaning to this tripe, it sinks even further. I suppose this is what we're supposed to believe is normal in California, but this is just insulting to people, anywhere, for suggesting this is anything less than titillating garbage. What's more, there's an element of parenting to this movie that should insult any person who care about or for a child. The idea that children were used as part of the set-up is deplorable.
